Born in Belarus in 1984, Kiryl Mikhalkevich emigrated to the U.S. in 2005 and settled in San Diego. He later established Route 66 Moving and Storage, serving communities from La Jolla to Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, San Marcos, Carmel Valley, Poway, and Rancho Santa Fe. The company also handles larger moving and storage needs in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

For the last ten years, Kiryl has also worked in real estate development, building high-end custom homes in Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, and La Jolla.

Before moving to the U.S., he graduated from the Belarusian State Medical University in Minsk, where he was a gifted student. The university is known as a center for education, science, medicine, and pharmaceutical practice.

Kiryl named Route 66 Moving and Storage after the historic U.S. highway. During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, more than 300,000 people traveled to California through Route 66 in search of opportunity. Established in 1926, the highway runs from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, crossing Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

The route became a symbol of resilience, travel, and fresh beginnings. Ten decades later, it remains part of American culture through songs, literature, road trips, history, scenery, and local communities. His own search for opportunity influenced his decision to name his first U.S. business after Route 66.

Since opening Route 66 Moving and Storage in 2008, Kiryl has focused on reducing the stress of moving through responsive communication, accurate quotes, answers to customer questions, and careful handling of fragile, perishable, and valuable possessions. The company focuses on residential and commercial moves between San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Kiryl also views the business as a way to provide jobs, support the U.S. and California economies, help families, and give back for the opportunities he received. His work helped him expand into real estate development, and he believes entrepreneurship can help immigrants contribute their skills, ideas, and experiences to their communities.

Outside of work, Kiryl Mikhalkevich is a private pilot certified to fly Cessna and Cirrus aircraft. He also gives back to his local community of Del Mar, San Diego, recognizing the importance of supporting the community that contributed to his journey.

En 3 ans à gérer des campagnes Meta, TikTok et Pinterest pour des marques de mode e-commerce en Europe, j'ai appris ce qui fait vraiment vendre en ligne. Mais appliquer ces techniques telles quelles au Cameroun échoue souvent parce que le vrai problème n'est pas la technique, c'est la confiance. Les Camerounais achètent ce qu'ils comprennent et voient directement, pas ce qu'on leur explique. Cette session décortique pourquoi le ciblage et la créa publicitaire européens ne se transposent pas tels quels ici, et propose une méthode concrète : cibler autrement quand les données utilisateurs sont peu fiables, et construire des créas "preuve d'abord" plutôt que "argumentaire d'abord".

Tim Jarratt is a walking contradiction. Californian by birth, he grew up on an island but never learned how to swim nor drive (how he managed to escape remains a mystery).

Across twenty years of experience, he's held a variety of roles (director of engineering, lead engineer, chief metaphor officer, to name a few). What keeps him interested and motivated in tech is the human element - pair programming, test-driven development, and a stubborn insistence that we can build better software for our users if we only tried things that seem impossible.

After a decade sweating in Silicon Valley he moved to Paris, France, where he lives with his family and two cats.

His current day job is at Maersk, working on Energy Transition. His teams are responsible for accurate reporting of carbon emissions, and building tools that help over 500 thousand employees take decisions that will reduce emissions. He uses elixir because it's awesome, and the best tool for the job.
